First, graduate admissions are much more holistic than undergraduate admissions and the weight of GRE scores in the admissions process is somewhere in the middle of all of the possible factors. More important are GPA, research experience, and reference letters (in many cases).

That having been said, a 160 is middling for engineers. That score is competitive for a lot of schools but will be well below average at many of the top schools. That doesn’t mean you won’t be admitted, but it definitely isn’t going to stand out.
